Dallas.

We had been to Dallas, Texas to spend time (about 25 Hrs) with Lalitha's brother Krishnan & Family. It was a great time visiting a few temples as well as the Dealey Plaza, where John F Kennedy was assassinated in Nov 1963. There is a Museum on the 6th floor, from where Lee Harvey Oswald's bullets came!!  


We also took time to visit, President George W Bush Library / Museum. Krishnan did an awesome job of hosting us as well as taking us around on super developed Texas Infrastructure. (My first visit to Texas and the 20th US State I visited!).......

The Cap was purchased, on 2nd Nov 2001, @Boston,JFK museum. No one can touch it, Not even Lalitha.!! I was sure I would visit Dallas, TX One day and preserved it to wear when I visit.. Mission Accomplished.! JFK was my all time favorite President, then Reagan and then Donald Trump.! Dubya is also up there (Scroll Below)..

What a tragedy! Within 90 minutes of losing her husband, (His Coffin in Cargo hold area!) Jacquiline stood and witnessed the oath taking of Vice President, Lyndon Johnson on Air Force 1. LJ became the only President sworn in by State Justice, rather than US Supreme court chief Justice. LJ ofcourse, A TEXAN!!! Sarah Hughes, who read the oath to LJ is the only woman ever to have sworn in a President.! At LJ's right, is the new first lady, Lady Bird..Hours later on reaching White House, Jackie noticed on her pink Chanel Suit Dress, JFK's Blood!
